Some famous faces get the money shot treatment over at Fubiz. Original photoshop competition on at Freaking News including Al Pachino and Mel Gibson. The Charlton Heston one is a great shot, but Queen and The Queen is all together inspired

These typographic hedges can be seen here Photos by Andrew Budge. Would be nice to have giant ones in your garden to create a typography maze. I love mazes. I think there’s something in that idea!

Rare shots of monsters caught on camera through the ages. Collection by Relleno De Mono.

The Bank of All My Mates, found via the Money Shots pool. There’s loads in there. Some of the are spot on

We’ve been making a little something for Topshop recently, based on the classic Helmut Newton Photo Machine concept of self photography, but bringing it to the streets of London, Dublin and Manchester to capture what you guys are wearing! Cute huh.

“… the twentieth century’s most influential, intriguing and controversial photographer, Helmut Newton and his ingenious ‘Newton Machine. Having inspired many photographers, designers and artists over the years, Newton’s iconic style and love of strong, powerful women is still heavily referenced today.

Read more about the special set up and the icon Helmut Newton, or bundle straight into the gallery here Some people really know how to strike a pose ( and some people should not be allowed out in public! ). You decide which …

I just love this image. I’d been wanting to do something for ages with these colours, and then i spotted this. Textural black and white photography with stark yellow shapes multiplied over. The contrast between the form underneath and the sharpness of the geometric shape does something to the image that makes it so much stronger. And here the use of type is spot on. Looks like a music, design and culture magazine. I can’t read german, but if you read it let me know what you think ?

More Black White and Yellow below and new typeface Myld, which looks to be an adaptation of Avant Garde. More typographic sexiness over at TypeNeu blog.

ClubPub Rocking one last time…. it doesn’t get better than this In fact it was so good it’s taken me nearly a week to get over it! Crank are the best band in the world without a shadow of a doubt. I totally lost my voice from screaming. Absolutely unbelievable. My guitar didn’t survive the mosh pit, but as long as i made it out alive that’s all i care about! And yes, that really is stage diving on a Wednesday night after work haha. Not to mention the swathes of underwear on the stage. Brilliant. Thanks to every person there for making it one of the best nights ever. More, more, more, more, more ……..

Awesome photographic talent featured above by Jaypeg and Mr.Lomo

Yes yes, i am glad to see that neon, rock, and flying v’s are transcending all geographical and cultural borders in their bid to take over the world. From this pic is seems that Buenos Aires should be twinned with Shoreditch for sure. This is Cherry - Sporting an equally impressive fake guitar accessory. Good work lady. This is AcidRock ClubPub in a nutshell. They even have the massive cassette! There’s a future in giant accessories mark my words ….

If your BBQ plans are washed away this Bank Holiday Weekend, ( you know it’s gonna rain! ) then have a go on this perfect rainyday project - print out and make pinhole cameras. Lovely Lomo-esque effects. Nice! Found these over at Corbis. There’s a bunch to choose from, or maybe use the template and design your own ? Now … where’s that prittstick at … ?

… or are you just pleased to see me.. 

I found the Face Your Pockets Project over at I’m Guz Tumblr. An experiment to see how the contents of a pocket might relate to their owner has created some bizarre and unexpectedly beautiful scanner shots. I found myself clicking through the lot gawping at Russian bank notes, personal photos and some most unexpected objects! Would make a nice book this lot. Watch this space for my face …

Woh! .. That’ ugly! But hey, it’s tough to pull-off that permed look … never mind the leotard.

Cheers for the link - Asi

To see a couple more of my Lomos from Thailand, look here : )

Just to remind you that there’s no zoom on a Lomo - I really am that close to the Croc!

… Aka ‘Jaypeg‘. Now, i’ve been meaning to introduce you to Jaypeg for ages. She’s made so many amazing things it’s hard to know where to start. From Sock Monkeys, to Felt Monsters, fabric animals of all shapes and sizes, Biscuit Monster Blog is ram-packed with visual goodness. She’s like a machine. Not to mention an awesome graphic designer to boot. She makes me sick …
